Today Google announced the next Nexus 7 tablet, featuring a new high-resolution display, a thinner and lighter body, and the latest version of the company's mobile operating system: Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
Check out our Google Nexus 7 (2012) review.
The 7-inch Asus tablet now sports a 1920 x 1200 resolution display with a pixel density of 323ppi, up from its predecessor's 1280 x 800 216ppi screen. Underneath the hood of the new tablet is a dual-core 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM — the previous year's model utilized a 1.2GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 CPU and 1GB of RAM. Battery life on the new tablet is expected to get you 9 hours of HD video or 10 hours of web browsing.
New additions to the Nexus 7 are a rear-facing 5-megapixel camera, stereo speakers with Fraunhofer virtual surround sound, and optional 4G LTE-compatibility with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon's networks.
The design of the new Nexus 7 isn't a major departure from the previous model, although the dimpled rear casing has been replaced with a smooth plastic finish. The bezel is surrounding the display is slightly thinner, and the device as a whole is now 50g lighter.
Likely due to the various upgrades, the new Nexus 7 will carry a higher price tag than last year's $200 tablet. When it launches on July 30th, the new Wi-Fi-only Nexus 7 will cost $229 for 16GB of storage and $269 for the 32GB model, while a 32GB LTE version will be available for $349. Availability in the UK, Japan, Canada, and other international markets is expected to start in the coming weeks.
